5.0 out of 5 starsOur third grade class loved your book.
By Brinson Memorial-Third Graders (sawyer@coastalnet.com) on November 2, 1999
Format: Library Binding
Our third grade loved your book. It gave us a lot of information about the desert. The illustrations were excellent. We especilly liked the use of author techniques such as diagrams, onomatopeias, catchy title and colorful illustrations. We would love to contact Barbara Bash.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot your ordinary desert book
By Kelly on May 11, 2004
Format: Paperback
We have been reading many different desert books for a unit study. It seemed that we kept running across the same old information in every book. Then we read this one! It tells you things that you just don't find in other books. This turned out to be our favorite book. The pictures are wonderful and it is easily understandable by young children, thought adults will learn a thing or two as well! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book was full of wonderful pictures and information
By A Customer on March 30, 2003
Format: Paperback
I have used this book every year as a third grade teacher. It is wonderful as a read aloud for science to illustrate how animals and plants adapt to their environment and rely on other plants and animals for survival. This is one of the best books I have ever read to my class because it is not dull science jargon but presented as the story of the life of the cactus. Don't miss this one for teaching and learning about life science in the desert.

5.0 out of 5 starsMy daughter and I love this book!!
By Aseel Hameed on March 8, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I do love non fiction books for kids. It always impress me how author van give too much knowledge in such a creative and simple way. The illustrations are very pretty and helps the child to understand the lines. It is very good educational/ learning tool for a parent and teachers. I do recommend it a lot!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat reader or science reader.
By D. Nicholas on February 6, 2010
Format: Library Binding Verified Purchase
We used this book in our 2nd grade class as a reader and for our science class on plants. We wanted to look at desert plants. Then we used it again in our next science subject which was on mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Children loved the beautiful art work.
